Farm and Ranch Magazines of America: The Complete Directory

FarmPress.org profiles 281 farm and ranch magazines, farm newspapers, breed journals, Farm Bureau papers and farm media outlets from across the United States. Every profile covers where the publication came from, who publishes it now, what it is covering this year and the editors and staff who produce it, with links to the USDA, land-grant universities and other agriculture authorities behind the facts.

American agriculture has been explained to itself in print for nearly two centuries. Some of the titles here began before the Civil War; others launched in the internet era. Together they reach the 1.9 million farms and ranches counted in the most recent Census of Agriculture, from corn and soybean growers in the Midwest to cattle ranchers in the West, dairy farmers in Wisconsin and fruit growers in Washington.

How these profiles are built

Staff listings reflect published mastheads and announcements as of late 2026; mastheads change, so confirm a name with the publication before you pitch a story.
